While waiting for Ian to determine if my VP150 is defective (I hope so, as the output variation within the 3 front seats of my seating area is on the order of 4 db from central seat to left and right), I've had some time to think about the fronts. I've got two very high quality subwoofers (independently measured flat +/- 1db from 24 to 200hz) and listen to ALL my music using Logic 7 (stereo hasn't done it for me since I discovered Lexicon about 5 years ago).

I cross over all my speakers at 80hz and send the bass to my subs for music and movies. The room is 2800 cubic feet (16 x 18 x 10) and is closed (no openings that can't be closed). I listen to the occasional action movie at reference level (105db peaks at the listening position). In my situation, is there any sonic benefit in going with floorstanders? Thanks for the replies.
